I read with interest the biographies of Grant an Lincoln, which you sent to me. When you were here you asked me to suggest the names of persons who might be able to prepare such a biography of Wilbur. The only ones I can suggest at present are Mr. Griffith Brewer, 33 Chancery Lane, London, England, or Mrs. Charlotte Reeve Conover, of Dayton. Mr. Brewer was a close personal friend of Wilbur's; Mrs. Conover is a woman of unusual literary ability. Sincerely yours, Orville Wright." (Inventory #: 1620)
